hmmm

If I had to guess I would say male, although it is kind of hard to judge from that picture, it's kind of small. If you can, post a larger, clearer image of the "business" end. Otherwise I can't say 100% either way, although I would lean towards male, just because of the bulging. Tell me this, do you see a distinct V-shape above the vent?

sorry for the pic.....

I took many pic's and that was the clearest (of about 18) my digital camera is just no good close up!!!!
Anyway this gecko has definate bulges but very very faint "V"
It's just a mystery to me! He is very large thick neck, bulky much more than any of my females but he is so passive, he even let another male try to mate with him (after some biting and tail vibrating by the "normal" male) bizzare!!!

That looks like a male to me, but a young one. How old is he?? You may just need to let him grow into himself a while longer.

Question 66 grams????

i do see little bulges but if he/she weighs 66 grams id imagine those bulges to be much bigger. im gonna go with female on this one ecspecially if males are reacting with vibrating tails rather than violence. the noses on these guys are pretty good at smelling sex pheromones.

Maybe he's a slow developer then.

Can you take another picture, so we can see his whole body from the top?

hard to tell...

... but if, at 10 months and 66 grams the pre-anal "V" pores are faint, I'm leaning towards a she. I have few females that have kind of "puffy" lobes down there that could resemble an undeveloped male. Usually, at that age if it's a male, it is pretty obvious. I'd also like to see another photo, though.

He said this one had a very broad neck too....


A couple of my females are a little puffy in that area too.


This is a tricky one. LOL!! Maybe "it" should just be kept as a pet!
